How to handle images

Hello,
I am developing a little application with functions for a library.
I would like to show a picture of the book in the book overview.
What is the best practice to handle the image. Uploading it with the WD4A-GUI to the backend?
Where would you save the images (frontend, backend,... ?)
Thank you,
Vanny

hi ,
save it as mime
right click ur application and then click on create mime object.
with Mime Objects u cn upload doc , jpeg, or giff files from our local system into the webdypnpro system .
You can even try creating the MIME objects in webdynrpo abap .
Right click on ur component->mime object->import
In the transaction sicf/bc/webdynpro , u cn check your component name there you can view the mime objects created by you .
also refer the SAP online help :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/46/bb182fab4811d4968100a0c94260a5/content.htm
to knw more abt mime repositories.

What do you suggest how to handle images?

Hello,
I would like to develop a book administration program in web dynpro but I have no clue how to handle the images. There are several points I would like to take care about. The frontend is wd4a and the backend is abap. There will also be an iPhone App that connects via WebServices that also need the data and the images.
What do you think is the best possibility to save the images?db via blob, file system, ...
Are there examples how to upload the images via web dynpro and transfer it to the backend?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Vanessa

Hello,
I'd echo Neil's thoughts - definitely store your images in tables as they are transactional data. Creating a DB table with variable length data isn't difficult - just specify the datatype as rawstring.
You can then easily read from the db and serve these images in image UI elements, I'm guessing the row repeater UI element is going to be very useful for you.
Does sound like a good fun project!
Cheers,
Chris

How to handle images (or let say mimes)

Dear MDM Gurus,
I want to start a discussion on how to handle MIMEs in MDM best.
Szenario is MDM as a SRM Catalog System - Some million products(records) and as many mimes.
- Import or linking?
- What are the pros and cons of these two ways?
- If I link images can MDM Server deliver them or do I need a seperate Webserver?
- If I import them how will the DB Size extend?
- If I "only" link the does it make a difference while lookup at import?
Maybe some of you have more questions and hopefully some of you have a kind of best-practice help for us.
Best regards
Roman

Hi Roman,
Its a nice discussion you have started. According to me
Advantage of linking
1. You can store the millions of images in the separate machine so the disk space on which SQL Server is installed can be used to store other data.
Disadvantage of linking
1. It may take some time to load the repository or in accessing the MDM clients because system has to actually search the location and fetch the mimes where they are stored.
Advantage of Storing
1. Loading and Opening of MDM Clients time can be reduced since all the images are stored in the repository itself
Disadvantage of Storing
1. If there are millions of images as you have said then majority of drive space will be used by these mimes and hence we can create less MDM records
Note: Sounds, Videos when stored in the repository cannot be played directly from the MDM Data manager they are first saved some where then only we can play them while this is not the case with linking

How to handle images stored /outside/ Aperture

I am coming from a PC environment where my images were stored all over my hard drive in various folders and subfolders. I am part-way through organizing all of this in Aperture but I OFTEN find myself exporting images to folders on my desktop in order to upload them to FTP or edit them in Photoshop conveniently and as I move to working in something like an Adobe Suite that allows me to edit and link images I do see myself keeping images outside of Aperture.
Can anyone help me out with how to manage this a little more practically (say by only keeping images on the desktop but not in the Documents Folder) and/or should I be trying to discipline myself down to keeping everything in Aperture? I find it relatively confusing to do it this way but am very interested in getting some advice on this.
Thanks,
Jon

Jon,
I used to have everything sorted with the top folder being 'Project 1', 'Project 2', 'Project 3', etc. with either all files in that folder, or sub-folders for each file type. This was pretty good, but eventually got out of hand once I had a couple hundred projects with all types of files in each folder and needed to find a specific file (say an Illustrator file I needed to work on).
Now, I use the following structure for Adobe CS5 projects:
Top level folder = 'Design Files'
Second level folders = 'Photoshop Files', 'Illustrator Files', 'InDesign Files', 'Acrobat Files'
Third level folders (inside each of the second level folders as needed) = 'Project 1', 'Project 2', 'Project 3', etc.
This gives me all my PSD files inside one master 'Photoshop Files' folder divided by Project folders. If - for example - Project 1 has PSD files, AI files, IND files and PDF files, then there is a Project 1 folder under each of the second level folders for each program. This allows me easy access to either all files for a program by going to that folder, or I can run a dynamic search (smart folder) for a project and see all relevant folders for that project in the search results.
The main reason I have it this way now is that I usually remember the file type (as mentioned above for an Illustrator file). I typically remember that I did an illustration, but can't remember the file name of the illustration or the project it went in for sure. My current structure shortens my search time considerably.
Note - I can also use Bridge CS5 very easily for the Adobe CS5 files since it shows thumbnails of the actual file and I can visually search very fast that way.
At home - with Aperture - I only hold the original images (pictures) that I started to work with. I don't keep any PSD, TIFF, PDF, PNG, etc. in the library. This is simply because Bridge is much better at showing those files with transparency if it exists, and Aperture stays a straight-forward image (picture) database for me.
If I send an image to a plug-in or to Photoshop from inside Aperture, I do it for a specific purpose and then I complete the process and export it to one of the dedicated folders in Finder (typically to my Photoshop Files folder). If I really need to keep the layer work in a PSD file, then I will use the 'Save As' command from inside Photoshop to save out to a folder and then just trash the file Aperture sent to Photoshop. Although I have not had any real issues with Aperture holding PSD files in the past, I simply trust Adobe to handle their own files without relying on Apple's program to do it for me.
As far as miscellaneous files (screenshots, scans, web icons), I really don't do many of those. I have a few scans which are not part of any project and just keep those in a two level folder (Art / Scans). For web icons, I would probably suggest going with the program you used for a folder (Photoshop Files?). Not sure what program or file type you are using for those (GIF, PNG - I don't work with web design so not real familiar with current practices for icon design for the web).
For JPEG files, I use a second level 'JPEG files' folder for any JPEG's that are used in my design projects in a 'Project 1', 'Project 2', etc. folder (same as the other file types mentioned above). Although, I typically use PSD files as source files and then save out JPEG's on a case-by-case basis (similar to using Aperture as the source and exporting as needed).
Since most of my design files are for InDesign projects, I complete the project by embedding all links in the document after having printed to PDF (and proof-reading prior to embedding). This protects against lost links if I need to work with the master file again for some reason. I can always place a new image or file in the document as needed and since I have a PDF of the file to send to collegues, the extra file size in the InDesign file after embedding is not a big deal.
So, in summary; I use a top level folder (based on category; e.g., Design Files) and then organize by file type parent folders with dedicated project folders under those as needed. Works for the way I think.
I hope that was somewhat clear.

How to handle image files used in PDF forms

With LiveCycle, I've created an interactive form for Help Desk-type requests, and the form works beautifully. I've tested it, and everything works. Show. Hide, Clear fields. And all the other behaviors I added with Action Builder.
As a final design feature, on my local machine at work, I added a header image (which is in My Documents>My Pictures). I tested locally and uploaded the form to Sharepoint and tested from there, and from what I can remember, the form looked fine. The header was intact. So I kind of assumed the image was embedded somehow.
So I brought the file home and opened it there, and -- Voila! -- no header image!
What happened?
Does the image file need to be uploaded and the path relative to the location of the file? To me, this doesn't seem to be a huge problem. More of an unexpected one. I can probably upload the image to someplace in Sharepoint and then set the image path in the XML.
But I'd like to hear the experiences of those who have used image files in their LiveCycle forms.

Duplication issue related to photo stream, Moments, and how iPhoto handles images coming in from the stream.

Pre-iOS 8 deleting photos from the stream was easy & comprehensive while within the 1000 pic/30 day window. Deletions affected ALL DEVICES, including the iPhoto Library. It just worked. This was controlled from the Cameral Roll.
Now that the Camera Roll is back, the function described above wasn’t restored. Streamed images are copied to the Library and do not get removed as before when deletions happen from the Camera Roll or from the Streamed album.
In iOS Moments LOADS of duplicate pairs appear as a result. One of each pair has a trash can and the other doesn’t. The trash can one informs the user that the photo will be deleted from the stream and all devices, but it does not delete the image from the Library on the Mac.
Can we get the pre-iOS8 image management from Cameral Roll back without having to re-delete images from iPhoto Library on the Mac. Otherwise what’s the point of the photo stream?
Mac Pro w/10.9.5
iPhone 6 w/ iOS 8.1
iPhoto 9.5.1 w/ 8052 images
Using photo stream, but NOT iCloud betas

Anything you save to the camera roll automatically gets put into the photo stream. You do not need to import and export to the computer as ckuan said. I have saved from email and the web and when they get saved they go into the photo stream automatically.

How does RH7 handle Images?

Could someone please take a moment and tell me how RH7
handles images? Does RH7 keep images in their location and just
reference them...i.e. If I create an image folder on the server,
will it just reference them from there or does it create a copy of
the image and store them elsewhere?
I have a very large help site and with multiple section, and
we merge them all together. Each section has many images - with
some images used across sections. I am trying to figure out the
most efficient way to handle them. Based on the help here, I have
decided that snippets will be the best option. However, in order
for me to use them effectively I need to understand the underlying
process. Also, does anyone have a better suggestion on how this
could be done?
Thanks in advance for the assist.

Images must be in the project. When you import an image, it
is copied to your project. It cannot be outside.
Even with merged help, the images have to be within the
specific project and that can mean duplication.

How to handle a large number of images?

Thank you for you reply.
I need to handle images.For example a user upload an
image via web browser and i need save too images ,one
is the original image ,the other is the compressed
image.And there may be a large number of images
because my project is a web application.
How should i do to reduce the stress of server?Well, you can find some answers under "Image I/O" for your image related IO problems here

How to handle large images?

Hi,
Does anyone know how to handle big jpg images (1280*960) so that they could be presented in a midlet.
The problem is that the images requires so much memory that they can't be decoded to an Image object with Image.createImage method. One solution would be to extract thumbnail image from exif headers. Unfortunately at least images taken with Nokia 6680 don't contain thumbnail in exif headers.
So the only solution seems to be to decode the byte presentation of the image and resize it before creating an Image object.
Do anybody know any library for this or tips where to start?
Br, Ilpo

Hi,
I think it is not possible. My application contains a file browser (which uses jsr-75). User can use the browser to select an image either from phone memory or memory card. After the selection I would like to present the selected image for that user can be sure it is the right image. The selected image will be then sent to the server side with some additional data for further processing (but that is another story).
Now the problem is that for example with Nokia 6680 user can take images as big as 1280*960 and I can't present them anymore because of the memory restrictions. With 640*480 image there is no problem because I can create an image object and then use a simple algorithm to resize the image for presentation.

How to upload images to MySql database.

Hey guys so i created a insert form in dreamweaver to add to a database, its workin fine but i want to add another field to browse for and add a small image of the item.

Storing images in a database is generally not a good idea. Apart from bloating your database and increasing the risk of table fragmentation when images are updated or deleted, you cannot display an image directly from a database. However, if you want to do it, you will find instructions here: http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Upload_images_to_a_MySQL_database__PHP_-16609.html.
The more common (and efficient) approach is to use the database to store details of the image, such as filename and caption. Then upload the image to your website's file system.
I give step-by-step instructions how to do this in my book, "Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP: Training from the Source", but if you have reasonable skill at using PHP, you can learn how to handle file uploads from the PHP Manual at http://docs.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php.

How to handle irregular shaped newspaper clippings?

Hi,
I am creating a book to re-construct (and adding and editing) an old scrapbook which contains irregularly spahed newspaperclipping. I have pages on which I would like to place just images clippings (any format .tiff, .jpeg, etc).
I have discovered that Aperture apparently does not handle transparent backgrounds and am looking for some suggestions on how to handle this. There have been a few posts in the forums about creating a image in Photoshop then using this as a background. This might work in some of the black themes like Stock Book Black (are the pages true black?). If I want to use one of the other themes like Journal or Photo Essay which allows for maps is there any way to match the page color surrounding the clippings to make it flow with the rest of the book? Are the RGB, CMYK, or HSB values that are published for these themes that I could mimic in a photo editor? Whould this work?
Thanks.

How to Handle and show multiple pushpin imgaes on the map based on the requirement at different coordintes?

How to Handle and show multiple pushpin imgaes on the map based on the requirement at different coordintes?
I have multiple images in my App folder. I want to use and show those images dynamically in windows phone 8 map application

There are a lot of different ways to do this. One simple method is to use a switch statement when creating your pushpins and based on some property in your data, select the icon you want to use and create your pushpin accordingly.

Regarding Timo Hahn blog: Handling images/files in ADF (Part 2)

Hello All, specially Timo Hahn :).
I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.2.3.0, ADF BC, ADF Faces, Windows 7.
And I am trying to Handle image/files (download,upload,view for images) from database as explained in Timo's post
http://tompeez.wordpress.com/2011/11/26/jdev11-1-2-1-0-handling-imagesfiles-in-adf-part-2/
I installed the commons-io-2.4-bin.zip file, but I don't know how to add it to my view controller project.
Any help is appreciated.

Thank you,
But I have one question. I am not expert in Java, but from my understanding the Library is a collection of jar files. So the file I installed is considered a library because it has jar 5 files.
suppose I want to add the entire library to my project, can we do this:
By the way I tried to do this by:
1- double click the view controller project, select library and class path, click the Add Library button.
2- From the Add Library Window, i clicked the new button.
3- from the create library window I enter a name and i class path I select the folder contacting these jars and then press OK
But this did not work for me, and get these errors
Error(30,29): package org.apache.commons.io does not exist
Error(125,13): cannot find variable IOUtils
Error(157,13): cannot find variable IOUtilsBut when I add a single jar to my project it works fine.
So, is it possible to add the entire library to my project?

How to handle a glitch gracefully with client

Any professional designers here, I could use some perspectives on how to handle a situation.
Briefly: first time client, somewhat fussy but well-intentioned and nice to work with. I designed an annual report for them, process color, nice piece. The cover image is a color satellite image from NASA, and on the proof some slight horizontal banding appeared in one area that turned out to be a glitch in the printer's proofing device.
I did some very slight color adjustments on the image and on the second proof some diagonal banding appeared in the same area. After discussing this with the prepress chief, I concluded again that this must be another proofing device issue. I did not see this banding on my monitor, so concluded it wasn't in the file.
At the press check yesterday I was surprised to see the banding. I discussed it with the prepress chief again, he said he had noted it on screen the previous day and "thought that T---- was going to discuss it with you." To my knowledge nobody had contacted me (T---- was off that day).
I have never stopped a print run before and was reluctant to do so now (everything else looked A1). This banding in one area of the image didn't seem catastrophic, just annoying to my fussy designer eye. A lot of people might not even notice it. Apparently, it's part of the original composite digital image NASA created.
So the question is, how do I handle this with my client? When showing them the proof with the banding, I said "don't worry, this won't be on press."
My professional sense is that I offer to correct the cover in Photoshop at no charge and have it reprinted (nothing has been trimmed or bound together yet--I've asked the printer to hold off on that). Do I wait and see if my client even notices? Do I point it out first thing?
And with the printer, do I insist they reprint the cover gratis? Or do I share responsibility?
If I had it to do over again I would've insisted on a perfect proof...I was just trying to keep things moving along and I trust this printer who I've worked with before (they do good work).
Thanks for your perspectives.

Thanks guys. I had a good chat with my printer rep. today, nobody pointed any fingers, they basically said they are willing to do whatever is necessary to make things right, except they indicated that they would charge for any additional prepress time. That seemed fair--I can do the Photoshop work and all they need to do is run a new proof and burn a single plate. I would cover that cost.
Later in the day I met with my client and told them everything went fine except for one glitch--I asked if I could wait until after they'd reviewed the proof to reveal it, just to see if it was obvious. They good-naturedly went along (we have a good rapport) and could not spot the problem. When I pointed it out and explained what happened, I said I would be more than happy to fix it, no charge to them, just a little extra time delay in getting the final product.
The person I work directly with felt it wasn't worth fussing over, but wanted to show it to the boss who wasn't in today. So I'll get a final answer tomorrow (he's the fussy one, so I'd say there's a pretty good chance he'll want a reprint).
I feel it has been handled well by everyone to this point. Good learning experience for me.
Thanks again for your input. Any further advice or comments welcome.
